The tread of tires is designed to channel the water between the ridges, so that the upper tread stays in contact with the road. The tread gives water someplace to go as the tire rolls. It channels away from the surface of the tire so that the tire will make contact with the road.
That is why it is easy to hydroplane on worn tires. The water can't get out from under the tire fast enough and you end up riding on water.

Is there a way to make driving safe?
Driving is already insanely safe. To make driving safer, we could ban radios while driving. Text messages and phones could also be banned. A maximum speed limit of 25 mph could be enforced. Helmets could also be required, as well as a 5 hour per day maximum driving allotment. All this could increase our safety by a very small amount.
What happens to the tyres after the tread has worn off?
They are no longer safe to use- danger of a blowout, and loss of traction when driving on wet roads. They may be recapped- covered with a layer of rubber- and returned to service. They may also be recycled- shredded and used for other purposes.
How deep are the treads in general tires?
The treads are generally about a half inch deep. To check for safe tread depth use a penny, if you can't see the top of the head of Abe Lincoln then the tread is fine.
What coin would be useful to measure an object?
A penny can be used to measure for safe tread depth on your car tires. Hold the penny upside-down in a tread groove. If the top of Lincoln's head is visible above the tread wall, the tires are completely worn out, and need to be replaced, pronto.
